Keypad locks are for open-face phones.
If you have misplaced your phone's security passcode, you will not be able to get into your handset to make any calls or access any of your phone's functions. Security passcodes are set to keep thieves from making unauthorized calls or text messages from your handset. However, there are ways of retrieving or resetting your passcode. Keypad locks are designed as a security mechanism for open-face phones. They keep you from accidentally dialing numbers while the phone is in your purse or your pocket.
